Deal of the Day - The Witcher RPG

I'm a huge fan of The Witcher franchise - video games, TV series, and even comics (in digital, of course). While I own The Witcher RPG, I don't expect I'll ever run it (I own WAY too many RPGs). Instead, I read it for the lore.

Today's Deal of the Day is The Witcher RPG. Normally 24.99 in PDF, until tomorrow morning, The Witcher RPG is on sale for 7.50
